Two people died from a disease that has the same symptoms as monkeypox or smallpox monkeys, on the 12 cases recorded, in two weeks, in the locality of Bangangala in territory Bomongo (Ecuador). People suffering from this disease have skin infections and mucous membranes. MP Patrick Mayombe who delivered information Thursday, June 19 at Radio Okapi requests the Government to make available care for these patients who often resort to traditional treatments.
"I've called the Minister of Public Health. I even wrote him and I booked a copy to the Prime Minister and I expect the government to act quickly. Health centers do not have the required infrastructure to accommodate the sick and administer appropriate care, "said Patrick Mayombe.
For him, the government should urgently intervene to prevent an epidemic.
The MP also called specialists who descend on ground to invite the people of this part of Ecuador not to touch the monkey who died in the forest.
Health specialists have not yet confirmed if it is really the Monkey pox disease.
Last October, the Monkeypox had nine cases including one death in the area of health Itipo, sector Ekonda, Bikoro territory in the province of Ecuador. Other cases of this disease were reported during the same period in the surrounding villages Itipo-center and the territory of Ingende.
